I put a new HDD in my desktop today but windows is not letting me access it.

I find it in the BIOS and if I run disk management it appears there, albeit in 3 partitions.

My questions are:
1) How do I un-partition it.I formatted them all earlier but they never re-combined.
2) How do I make windows let me access/store stuff on it.

Is it a good idea to use a password manager to encrypt my external hard drives if the external hard drive is going to contain a backup of my password database?

>>59158171
What error message are you getting? What OS was it from? What OS is it going into? What format is the hard drive? Encrypted?

>>59158183
I figured it partly out. They were just all unallocated in disk manager.
But how do I combine the partitions? Deleting them just makes them go back to unallocated.

Optional parameters are easier to maintain, result in smaller binaries.

Imagine if you had a class with 3 parameters that you wanted to be able to mix and match. With multiple constructors, you would need 6 overloads, compared to one with optional params

I inherited a rack mounted server in a colocation facility nearby after my boss passed away recently. I've been using it for testing and learning but he only had 4x 250GB hard drives in it configured with raid 10 so I'm quickly running out of space. Is there an easy way to replace all of the drives with 1TB drives without having to reinstall everything? Someone told me that if I just start pulling drives one by one and replacing them with larger ones that the RAID controller would automatically rebuild the array and when all 4 drives were replace it would allow me to expand the guest OS up to the new space. Is this true? It's running VMware esxi with 2 virtual machines.

So today I turned on my PC for a quick game of Overwatch, and everything seemed to be running abit slow. Didn't think too much of it, until Overwatch wouldn't open and then when it finally did several minutes later, black screen and I can't close it. Tried to open Speccy, won't show me any hardware specs. No games will open, can't run Heaven Benchmark, and most programs become unresponsive. What the fuck is goin on??

1. Will my Asus Z170 Pro Gaming/Aura mobo boot from an NVMe M.2-PCIe 3.0 SSD?

2. Is it really that likely that I'll have to clock my 3000MHz DDR4 down to auto/2133MHz for it to play nice with NVMe, as I've read is sometimes the case?

3. If booting from an NVMe drive isn't possible, are AHCI M.2-PCIe or AHCI M.2-SATA cards worth the expense, or should I

4. Oh, and Windows 10 does have decent native NVMe drivers now, right?

5. Lastly, is migrating my Win10 install from HDD to SDD just a simple matter of creating a partition table on the SDD and cloning the partition over from the HDD?

Sorry for the fuckload of questions.

How do you hide your powerlevel at Uni /g/?

I had my second day of Comp Sci today and we had a lecture about the binary system, prof was talking about Kilobytes, saying they're really confusing and how they're 1024 bytes but people use it as 1000 bytes... I put my hand up and asked where ibibytes fits into this, he asked what they were and I explained that my understanding was that Kilobytes==1000bytes and Kibi==1024 and he shot me a filthy look.
I tried to explain to him after the lecture and he just said "Thanks" in a standoffish manor and left

I know should've shut up and I will in the future, I was thinking of completely hiding my power level, wiping Gentoo from my Thinkpad and installing Win 7 but I don't want to undersell myself.

How do you handle yourself at Uni?

How hard is it to do your taxes on your own? Stuff like taxpro charge 60, a tax person charges like 200+, and some places do it for free. I'm not sure who to trust and why there's a difference in price between the three

>>59159810
Not hard at all as long as you can keep track of documentation well. From what I hear from family, Turbotax takes ~15 minutes once you load everything in, and it will tell you when you fucked up. Going through someone like a financial consultant or H&R Block will mean you have to fill out a large stack of physical paper to check off what you DON'T have - every time you file. At least, that's what our guy initially had us do, and it's annoying as fuck + expensive. If you use software, generally all you need to do is put in what you DO have, and update it as you go.

>>59159810
Just use TurboTax

If you have a brokerage account, it costs $50 extra, but is otherwise free

If you have anything more complicated, like weird capital gains or like realestate or something, you should get a tax guy if that's too complicated for you

Should I be concerned? This is a 4 year old laptop and I've never done any cleanup or other maintenance work to it. Just noticed that the fan started spinning loudly while it was idling and decided to download speccy just to see what it was doing. Opened up the lid and looked inside, didnt see any dust but the cooler on top of the processor felt quite warm.

I'm thinking about changing the thermal paste next weekend. Should I do it today instead? Can these temperatures actually damage my computer? Or could this simply be a damaged sensor reporting false data?

I had a problem with the desktop I built, I troubleshot the problems and ended up RMA-ing the PSU and motherboard. The PSU RMA was accepted and the motherboard is pending. Before I sent the motherboard in I tested the machine with a different PSU and produced the same symptoms. However I am concerned what will happen if:
- the motherboard wasn't the problem and what to try next
- the motherboard WAS the problem but other things are wrong too, and if warranty will cover that damage as well
>>59159687
If you feel the urge to ask a question, ask yourself "will this contribute to the lecture, or am I just asking questions to ask questions?" I will say that this translates to the working world as well as you will have times during work meetings where you want to make a comment in a similar vein but really shouldn't. If you do it enough you'll be considered annoying. In Uni its not a huge problem but in the workplace it can be pretty damning if your boss doesn't like you especially over petty shit like that.

What's the best way to go about this?

>Define an algorithm random(int x, int y) such that when run, it will find one pseudorandom integer from 0 to y, based on the value of x chosen. The number generated should always be the same for a given value of x, and the algorithm should generate a unique integer for each value where 0 <= x <= y.

What's the difference between all the fancy college courses and degrees? I thought computers were pretty much only separated into two categories - software and hardware. When I looked at all the available degrees and majors and shit none of it made sense.

How do I install PIL or Pillow in Python 3 on Windows with MobaXTerm?

I already tried the

python3 -m pip install Pillow

workaround as well as just

python3 -m pip install PIL

and I get an error message saying

/bin/python3: No module named pip.  

Am I just entering the commands wrong or is there something more I have to do to install these libraries on Windows with MobaXTerm?

Yep. You could get the temps even lower by getting a beefier cooler or making your fans spin faster, but that's pretty much pointless since those are normal operating temperatures.

To answer your dumb question, no. But nobody is going to read your data unless they have an electron microscope and a lot of time on their hands. Although actually I believe the latest iPhones automatically encrypt everything so even with an electron microscope, nobody is going to be reading your data.

There might be some differences in water temperature and hardness which affect the taste. Also could be that their coffee maker is not as clean as yours (or vice versa) or their coffee has been standing still in the pot for too long.

You should've cleaned it at least annually. But, doing it now is the second-best time.

This. Asking a question about it when you know he's made a mistake is a douchey move and nothing good can come out of it. Either he will flat out deny that he's wrong and spread more misinformation, or he'll say that you're right and look like a fool in front of everyone (and you'll look like a smartass, no less).

Being real for a sec: Do you want a job or do you want to spend $50k and get a degree for people who aren't smart enough to get a math degree? I'd say about 90% of CS majors belong in code bootcamps instead of uni. If you are that 10%, get the degree. If mommy and daddy are paying for school or you did well in HS and can go without taking out over $10k in loans, get the degree. If not, learn to code and get a job, and then you can pay for the degree later if you need it for advancement.

I assume switching to a new OS will dump everything from my old OS (looking at Ubuntu), can anyone confirm?

>>59162638
Not really what I'm looking for. With a dock, you still waste space, and by autohiding, you still need to go there with the mouse to launch applications or switching windows.
What I'm looking for is actually some alternative method or something.

I can't give you any more info than you could get by reading old Reddit threads on the topic, I'm just giving general info for that youngfag. My experience is that in any given team,
>50% of the developers have an unrelated degree and nothing else
>around 40% have a minor or did some professional development type stuff after either dropping out or graduating with an unrelated degree, some of them went to no-name bootcamps rather than those in NY or similar
>5-10% are self-taught with no relevant education

It is a window manager. That is its only job.

Modern desktop environments are comprised of a display server (X/Wayland), a WM, and a DE. It looks like you want to omit the DE part of the equation.

No I want to omit the taskbar part of the equation, and you suggested openbox.

My PC froze when I launched a number of applications, but when I restarted it, it kept running only for a minute or two, and then shutting down. After I turned off and on the power supply, I get the message that the BIOS is corrupted and there needs to be a restore from backup, but it doesn't reach the 100% before freezing. What should I do?

Hey guys, I'm currently running my pc on Win10 Enterprise 64-bit and I've been thinking about going back to Win7. What's the easiest way for me to do this? I have an SSD that I use for my OS and then a regular HDD for files n shit. Is there any reason why I shouldn't go back to 7? I've found that 10 is very picky when it comes to certain games and DAW plugins.

Newbie to FFMPEG here, trying to encode a video(mp4, MPEG-4) to SWF for /f/ posting.

Tried

 ffmpeg -i test.mp4 test.swf 

and while it worked, the resulting video was sped up by 4x while audio remained at normal speed. Searched on google for awhile and someone suggested converting to .flv first before copying the video and audio stream to .swf with

 ffmpeg -i test.flv -acodec copy -vcodec copy test.swf 

but I got the same results, anyone know how to fix this?

Also, anyone know if there's a "compression parameter" in ffmpeg so I can get it to fit under 10MB?

You'll get more confident as you get more real-world experience. Nothing substitutes for it, which is why employers treat experience as king.

Toshiba's a bit of a crap shoot. Most HDD manufacturers are, actually.

Notably, Seagate had a horrible series of drives around 2010 which they still haven't broken brand negativity over. Something like 15-20% failure rate. It was ridiculous.

Backblaze does a good job documenting their failure rates for HDDs though. You can see their stats @ https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-q1-2016/ and they'll give a better idea of reliability than any one person's advice.

Git for source control and github for hosting seems to be the most popular choice.

You can have a look at gitlab too, you can even run your own instance of it.

The first thing you want to do though is make yourself familiar with git and ignore all those hosters at first.

Does anyone else use offset voltage mode for overclocking. I am overclocking my 3770K for the first time. It blue screened at 4.5 ghz with +0.005 offset. I then lowered it to 4.2 ghz and it now runs prime95. Should I just keep increasing the frequency until it can't take it anymore? Mind you I set the load line calibration to auto. Should this be set to something else such as extreme?

I bought a 1000$ item that was to be shipped by UPS. UPS lost the package. Shop(Seller) opened a claim. 8 days later, UPS says item is lost for real. Shop told me they would send me a replacement once they talk to UPS about their refund of the lost item. Just today, original item has arrived. Both original lost item and replacement used the same UPS tracking number. Nothing shows on the tracking about the original package being delivered today.

What do I do? Who will be on my ass for this item? I'm assuming the shop got their refund so UPS is losing here, will they chase me over it?

Windows BSODs upon selecting it, and I tried booting/installing Xubuntu from a USB stick, and it always freezes on any selection I make and then after a few seconds scrambled colors appear in the top few rows of pixels. Is it salvageable? Not sure what the problem is, but I'm at least able to get it to boot from the USB stick; is there some diagnostic utility I can load on it?

>>59170625
You mostly get a lot of lag from running everything through both filters. It's also very pointless considering thy basically use the same lists

>>59170747
Sounds like a massive PITA, just change the hdd

>>59170447
I see. I think I'd like the same, I don't mind it down clocking at idle. What do you set your load line calibration at when using offset ?

>>59170824
OK. Why would it not be able to run Linux from USB though?

Is the 1050 Ti stronger than the normal PS4 GPU?

>>59170834
try to keep it low. if it keeps being unstable raise it a bit. it compensates voltage sagging but you don't want it to overshoot.

>>59170916
I think PS4 GPU equivalent is 660 Ti,

So yeah. Even a 1050 Ti is much beefier.

I just lost yet another project to the fucking mess that is windows movie maker and its shitty project files that become corrupted.
I don't know why I'm so retarded that I continued using that garbage.

Can someone recommend me a good video editing software? I've tried sony vegas but I think its overkill. I just need to trim/split videos and add pictures and music.

>>59170916
Considerably. Even accounting for game optimization it's still a lot more powerful

Why can't the file be found here?
It's in the same folder as both the .java and .class files.
Have I done something wrong?

String[] temp = new String[10];
        try {
            BufferedReader loader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("populations.txt"));
            for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
                temp[i] = loader.readLine();
            }
            loader.close();
            out.println(temp[3]);
        }
        catch(IOException e) {
            out.println(e.getClass().getName());
        }

It throws FileNotFoundException.

>>59170954
Got it, thanks. Sorry for asking so many questions. This will be the last: did you set your offset to +0.005 too? Everywhere I look this seems to be the standard value. Should I not play around with that?

>>59171102
depends on the working directory.
generally it's where the application gets executed, not where it's source or itself lies.

I'm learning python, need some quick help with one-line for loops
I have a list [1,4,9,16,25,36,49,64,81,100] and want to print out a list of the even numbers, but I can only use one line.
My code:
a = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]
print (i for i in a if i//2==i/2)
gives me

You need a lot of patience getting it correct, it took me 2 weeks tinkering with different values and testing overnights.

My 780 just died, it's out of warranty by two months.

Could I buy a new one, switch the cards and return it saying it's broke and then sell the new one?

I probably won't do it but I just want to know if there's anything wrong with this devilish plan.

If I have a 24 fps video and a 60 fps monitor it can be tricky to get the video to play back smoothly in a video player.

What if I just re-encode it to 60 fps with frame duplication and interpolation?

Right now I'm deseralizing/serializing JSON in c#. I'm reading in json from multiple online sources, deseralizing it into a C# class, then serializing this new object into a json string which will be eventually written to a file on disk.

I came across an issue where the online source I was using had inconsistent json: sometimes an item would be an object in one doc, and then in the next it'd be an array.

I use this online guide to fix my issue, and used a jsonconverter for those problem items:
>http://michaelcummings.net/mathoms/using-a-custom-jsonconverter-to-fix-bad-json-results/

Now I can read the json just fine. However, he doesn't cover writing json in his guide. Can anyone tell me how I'd do the WriteJson portion of the converter? I can't seem to figure it out

How do I make a Windows batch file continue (not waiting for it to terminate) after launching an application using "START" or simply by file association such as:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO Type the name of the document you would like to access
SET DOC=
"%DOC%.docx"

It still waits for Word to close down before continuing. How do I disable that? Do I need to launch another prompt window with the /K then EXIT command?

Speaker question.

So I have a few of these active PA speakers lying around that I use for instrument amps, I like them very much for that purpose, they're a great value at $120 from monoprice.

Question is, is it going to damage the speaker if I power them off using the switch on a surge protector power strip? rather than the switch on the back of the amp (which would always be left on, and the volume knobs left in place permenantly)

I've turned one of them on and off this way for years and it's been great, It hardly makes any noticeable noise turning on or off. I just bought a second amp because I liked the first one so much, expecting to be able to cycle the power the same way, but the second amp makes an audible pop when I power it off. Its pretty loud but not any louder than the drivers put out while in use.

the reason I'm trying to use a power strip is because these amps are stashed way behind instruments and the back panels are impossible to get to without moving shit.

>>59172498
If files were in the middle of being written they would get corrupted

>>59172582
follow up
I just found out the speaker actually pops turning it off weather I use the switch on the back or not.

Should I be concerned? The first speaker of the same make and model doesn't make this sound at all. I don't expect them to be EXACTLY the same considering its monoprice and i bought them a year apart, but I just don't want it to not turn on for me one day.

If all i'm risking is a fuse I'm ok with that, they're pretty easy to replace and I already have extras

How do I get Oneechan to load system fonts? I heard you need to force 4chan to use http to make it work but I don't know how to do that and the wiki said I need Flash enabled which I already do. It's just stuck on "loading..." forever when I try to load system fonts.

Hey guys, I've got a Netgear dgnd3700 v2 and a Netgear n2200 v3 and I'd like to set up the second as a wireless repeater, is there a different firmware I should flash onto it to make it easier to do?

Why does windows not recognize all my ram, but it appears in my bios?

18 GB of DDR3 2666(2-4-2-4-2-4)
Windows 7 Home Premium

System information is showing 12 GB and 18 GB of VRAM. I know Windows 7 Home Premium only can use 16 GB of ram, but mine is still only showing up as 12. Any reason? Have used Windows Memory Diagnostics and used CPU-Z and Speccy to detect them(which it did). Tried reseating them, but to no avail. Any help is appreciated.

Well you can try libreoffice if you want something different, but cross-format compatibility and formatting isn't amazing, so if you absolutely have to be certain that something will render the same in word, it's not ideal. I'd just suck it up if I were you

My 10 year old 250 gig hard drive is beginning to die. I want to replace it with a 250 gig SSD. I've already backed it up just in case it dies right now, but my stupid question is that if I clone my old hard drive onto the SSD can I just plug it back into my PC, and what software is there that will help me do it

>>59173360
Just do a fresh install for various reasons

>>59173397
okay, but is there software that would help me clone just the windows directory so I can boot back in

>Reinstall 7 and use the keep old files option

What's the "best" video editing software out now?

or more specifically, the "best" one for making Youtube videos

Last time I made a video, I used Sony Vegas to make a (really shitty) RSMV back in high school

>>59173360
>250gb

why

if you're changing to sdd might as well go 1tb or 500gb if you're really poorfag

>>59173689
250GB is good enough for a OS drive.

>>59171551
kek'd

>>59173695
Sorry, I've never understood this OS Drive meme. What's the point of it? So if you somehow fuckup your OS all your animu and vidya are still safe?

>>59173711
No, just a drive dedicated to your OS.

Its done for Performance and safety reasons.
Also its more easy to backup your OS than all your files on it.

If your OS die with all your stuff on it you can recover everything easy, the problem is when the drive dies.

>>59173689
Okay I'll get a 500 gig one. The thing that concerns me the most is if I do do a fresh install it won't recognize the code in the bios and I'll have to pirate it

>>59173784
There are no downsides of pirating it as long you do it safe.

>Clean ISO
>Daz Loader for 7
>MSToolkit for 8.1/10
>Everything downloaded from Mydigitallife Forums.

Instead of getting a 500GB one get a 250GB (850 EVO) and a 1TB WD Blue.

>>59173711
Having the os on a separate DRIVE is usually about having an SSD plus an HDD, which is good for obvious reasons. A separate PARTITION is useful if you like to backup disk images or reinstall your OS a lot, but it's not worth the bother for most people because you have to worry about giving just the right amount of space to the OS or effectively wasting it

>>59173784
Don't listen to him. 250 is great, provided you also have an HDD. And you can just extract your key's/tokens prior to the wipe and reactivate it. Also there really aren't major downsides to cloning to an ssd if you use a proper program like macrium to handle it, /g/ just likes to suggest that people reinstall windows periodically.

>>59173838
Eh, the thing is, everyone fucks up or fucks around their computers and you end up with bloat, if you're building a new one and getting a new drive, might as well just go all the way and do a clean install of the OS.

>>59173838
>And you can just extract your key's/tokens prior to the wipe and reactivate it
